Chewy and Cheap: Homemade Strawberry Fruit Leather

For a quick and nonperishable snack, fruit leathers are perfect for keeping in your gym bag or purse. But costing almost a dollar each, these snacks can quickly add up in price. With a food processor, an oven, and a lazy afternoon, it's easy to whip up a batch of fresh-tasting fruit leathers for a fraction of the cost. And bonus — these homemade fruit leathers contain 15 calories instead of the 45 in most store-bought brands.

Unfortunately Missy, you may have gone through the crash course I got about a month ago.. Using wax paper in place of parchment paper is a huge no-no as it happily becomes an extra ingredient in whatever you're cooking. Had to throw out two batches of crisp bread because I didn't know the difference then :-P Thank you for this post Jenny, I look forward to trying it, I just didn't want anyone to shy away because of the age old wax vs. parchment battle us up & comers have :)

What a joke, a waste of money, time and effort! I made 2 pans and both are wasted. ..unless of course you don't mind eating wax paper.
